Blogging:
Just a Mild Obsession…
Eighteen years ago, Rik started his first blog — The Cinema 4 Pylon — and spent an undue amount of time reviewing movies both great and not-so-great for a dedicated audience. He also started the Cinema 4: Cel Bloc animation site – where extended pieces based around classic cartoons are featured – and The Shark Film Office, where the history of sharks and other ocean-dwelling creatures on film and television is the focus.
Rik also launched two new blogs in late May 2016 with his writing partner, Aaron Lowe. Both websites have rather novel concepts:
Visiting and Revisiting with Rik and Aaron features in-depth film discussions revolving around the notion that the film under review has been seen by one of the pair many times over and thus they have somewhat of a history with the film, while the other has never seen the film and knows relatively little about it going into the viewing.
We Who Watch Behind the Rows: Stephen King Print vs. Film is an extremely Stephen King-centric website, where Aaron and Rik take one of King's short stories or books, read it, review it, and then watch any filmed adaptations of that work and review them as well.
Health issues have kept Rik away from blogging for the most part for the past few years, but he is now itching to get back in the game. In addition to launching a new blog specific to this site, he will soon relaunch his three main sites in coming months. Keep checking those links!
